Shimano baitrunner 6000D
Just a point of interest. 2 years ago I bought the new shimano baitrunner 6000D and love it. But the reel didn't last 2 years before the main gear stripped out on me. The teeth were just worn smooth on the main gear I haven't used it on any large fish or misused it in any way.
I sent it back to Shimano 3 weeks ago and hadn't heard anything back from them in 2 weeks So I called last week and was told they were swamped with the same reels coming in for repairs. I was also promised I would have the reel back in a week.
This problem may have been a fluke but wonder if anyone else has this reel and has had problems ?
I'm just greatfull the season is over and I really don't need it till spring.

Re: Shimano baitrunner 6000D
I sold all of my baitrunners last year - Had the A and B models and found that they were just not what I wanted.
No stripped gears but the bail roller kept breaking - sent them back three times - all fixed but still a PITA
I am now using Diawa and Fin Nor and have had zero issues

My phone calls and bitching to Shimano has paid off.
Today the UPS truck stopped out front and delivered a brand new baitrunner reel from Shimano
I wonder what their cost is for these reels that they didn't repair the old reel and just decided to replace it with a new reel.
I can't complain now on their service. I hope this new reel holds up.
